Various anti-viral treatments are being tested in clinical trials worldwide. The World Health Organization (WHO) launched a simple,pragmatic worldwide open-label trial to test Remdesivir, Lopinavir/Ritonavir, Interferon and Hydroxychloroquine or Chloroquine.The most important complication of
Study procedures
1. Written informed consent before study specific procedures are undertaken. The investigators will explain the contents of the trial especially the information about the possible side effects, other alternative treatment and the right to withdraw based on the participant own
General objectives:
Evaluate the therapeutic efficacy in Mexican adults with dyslipidemia through the oral route use of L-carnitine + atorvastatin in comparison with the use of Atorvastatin, after six months of treatment.
Evaluate the safety of the medicines under study.
Hypothesis:
The combined use
Although there are more than 100 different kinds of arthritis, the three most common are gout, osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA).Gout occurs in response to the presence of monosodium urate (MSU) crystals in joints, bones and soft tissues, and is usually treated by non-steroidal
Tumor heterogeneity leads to a significant difference in the rate of response to drugs in patients with the same pathological type. According to the information, the current initial effective rate of domestic and foreign chemotherapeutic single drug is no more than 30%, even if treated with repeated
Study Objectives:
Primary objective: Patients will experience at least 50% reduction in PFAPA flares for the next 2 consecutive months after receiving single dose of canakinumab (4 mg/kg).
Secondary objectives:
1. Time to flare
2. Parent/patient quality of life assessment
Study rationale:
Periodic
ABI-011 is a novel, albumin-bound formulation of a potent thiocolchicine analog, IDN 5404, with a mean particle size of approximately 100 nanometers (nm). The active drug, IDN 5404, is related to the colchicine family of tubulin-binding compounds that have been found to have vascular-disrupting
In particular, CRP levels in patients with persistent AF are higher than in those with paroxysmal AF, and levels in both groups are higher than those in the control group. Moreover, hs-CRP and IL-6 levels have been reported as markers that may identify those patients with a higher risk of AF

In a knee OA cohort with no clinical evidence or self-report of gout, The investigators recently found a significant correlation of synovial fluid uric acid with radiographic and scintigraphic measures of OA severity [1]. The investigators also observed strong correlations of OA severity
This study consists of 3 randomized cohorts (one per condition of colchicine resistant/intolerant Familial Mediterranean Fever (crFMF), Hyper Immunoglobulin D Syndrome (also known as mevalonate kinase deficiency (HIDS/MKD), and Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor Associated Periodic Syndrome (TRAPS), and
The investigators propose a simple phase II trial of oral colchicine at the standard prophylactic dose utilized for gout in men with CRPCa who have failed taxotere based chemotherapy. The investigators will utilize a simple modified Simon 2-stage design. The investigators plan to enroll 40 men for
We are proposing a randomized trial of Peg-Intron 0.5mcg per kg weekly versus colchicine 0.6mg bid in prior non-responders to Interferon, Rebetron, PegIntron, or PegIntron & Ribavirin or any third agent such as Pegasys, CellCept, Amantadine with advanced fibrosis/cirrhosis. The specific aims of this
The current low cure rates in most patients with advanced hematologic cancers indicate the need to identify new agents that can be incorporated with current therapies to improve prognosis. The vinca alkaloids are effective broad-spectrum anti-leukemic drugs. Microtubules are a major structural
